Thread: Ever interested in something you're not really good at?

  1. #1

    Default Ever interested in something you're not really good at?

    For me, that's math.

    I'm not really a mathematical prodigy, it often takes me hours to completely understand a chapter in a math text(which is often just 2-5 pages). Yet, the more I read it...the more I want to learn of it.

    Like, it took me a while to digest the proof of why there are infinitely many prime numbers. It also took me a while to fully understand and illustrate what an abelian group is. Pre-Abstract Algebra and Number Theory are by far my hardest math classes...and I haven't even taken Euclidean Geometry, Combinatorics, Applied Probability Theory, or Calc4 yet. I'm kind of scared that I'll somehow fail these classes and watch my degree go down the drain...yet I'm kind of determined to see it through...all so I can teach low-level math like AP Calculus and high school Algebra...ironic isn't it?

    I've been interested in visual artwork, specifically drawing...but I am not very good at it and I don't think pursuing it would lead to anything conclusive.

    I'm interested in singing and playing an instrument, though I have no talent or skill for either of those.

    I love games but I'm really not that good at playing them. xD And, singing. Drawing I guess, cos I just enjoy it but don't think I'm that good at it.

    Anything involving music and art. I love both of them, but suck at them.

    Also, computer hardware. Everything I touch stops working. It's almost creepy.

    I'm bad at drawrin', but I like to...sometimes. I hate maths, but I'm ok at it (unless I fall asleep on my graphs...) and it's always always always been my dream to be able to make music but I'm hopeless at the piano and only passable on the guitar. I have a hope in guitar, actually, but...

    Ah well.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Art and singing are things I like to do but am not good at.
    Programming, coding and 3D Graphical Art are things that I'm interested in but am not good at. I wouldn't be surprised if I someday take a course or two in such things.

    Um... dancing. I used to dance when I was little, but I quit. I would so not be able to be a dancer now, but it still looks interesting.

    EDIT: What I mean by never being able to be one is that I have the complete wrong body for dancing. I'm not a very thin tall person like most dancers are, I'm only 5 feet tall (VERY short) and I'm not thin. Plus I'm horribly out of shape.

    I can't draw to save my life, but I still have an interest in it.
